    Abstract

  • A filterless Microwave Photonic Phase Shifter (MPPS) with a tunable Frequency Multiplication Factor (FMF) and a full 360-deg tunable range is theoretically analyzed and verified by simulation. In the scheme, two parallel Mach-Zehnder Modulators (MZM), cascaded with two Dual-Parallel integrated Mach-Zehnder Modulators (DPMZM) by a 2×2 Optical Coupler (OC), are used to generate the ±1st- to 4th-order sidebands adjustably, and a Phase Modulator (PM) is used to phase shift one of the two lightwaves. After photodetection, the 2nd- to 8th- order harmonics with a continuously tunable phase shift from 0 to 360-deg can be generated by adjusting the RF driving signal and the DC bias voltage of the DPMZM, and the DC voltage of the PM. Simulation results demonstrate that both 360-deg continuously tunable phase shift and frequency multiplication can be implemented. Large Optical Sideband Suppression Ratio (OSSR) and Electrical Spurious Suppression Ratio (ESSR) of around 20 dB can be obtained. The phase shifter wavelength insensitive performance has been also evaluated by simulation.
